Administration of the General Plan requires timely processing of permits for land divisions, special use permits, variances, recreation facilities, building permits and other such applications. The department is the environmental review agency for the County assuring compliance with applications. The department is the environmental review agency for the County assuring compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act so as to protect the integrity of project approvals both public and private.

Public assistance is the perceived primary goal.
